Roger

You'll take care of me when I go, won't you, Peter?

Rest, man. Save your strength.

Roger

I don't want to be walkin' around... like THAT!... Peter... PETER?

I'm here, man!

Roger

Don't do it until you are sure I am coming back! I'm gonna try... not to... I'm gonna try... not to... come back. I'm gonna try... not to...

Roger

We've just got to wait a little longer before we move.

No, there's always a chance of some of them stayin' up on the balcony.

Roger

We can handle that; we can break through.

If any of them see us, or hear us, they'll just follow us on up. It's no good.

Roger

We sure as hell can outrun 'em. We can load up what we can and get the hell out.

I'm thinkin' maybe we've got a good thing going here. Maybe we shouldn't be in such a hurry to leave.

Roger

Oh, man...

If we could get back up there without them catchin' on, we could hole up for a while, at least long enough to catch a breath, check out the radio, see what's happening.

[while flying in the helicopter]

We've got to find more fuel. Maybe closer to Cleveland.

Roger

No. We've got to stay out of the big cities. If they're anything like Philly, We may never get out alive.

We may never get out of anyplace alive. We almost didn't get out of here.

Roger

We're gettin' out of here fine. As long as there's not to many of those things around, we can handle them easy.

Yeah, well it wasn't one of those things that nearly blew me away.

Roger

We gotta stay in the sticks! There's bound to be more of those little private airports upstate.

There's the locks along the Allgheny. There's fuel stations there, state and private owned.

Roger

No, those are probably still manned. We don't need those hassles either.

They're just out after scavengers and looters.

Oh, you got papers for this limousine?

I've got GON I.D., and so does Fran.

Right, and we're up here doin' traffic reports? Wake up, sucker! We're thieves and we're bad guys. That's exactly what we are. We gotta find our own way.

Roger

Come on, Martinez.

Yeah, Martinez! Show your greasy little Puerto Rican ass so I can blow it right off!

[**** his gun]

Blow ALL their asses off! Low-life bastards! Blow ALL their low-life Puerto Rican and **** asses right off!

Roger

Aww God! Oh, Jesus Christ!

What is it?

Roger

My bag! I left my goddamn bag in the other truck!

[stops driving the truck]

All right trooper, you better screw your head on.

Roger
[hyped tone]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, c'mon, c'mon c'mon, let's go!

[grabbing him by the collar]

I mean it! Now you're not just playin' with your life, you're playin' with mine! Now... are you straight?

Roger
[subdued tone]

Yeah.

Roger

Peter, where are you?

I'm right here, man.

Roger

Hey, we did it, didn't we? We whipped 'em, didn't we?

That's right, man.

Roger

Didn't we... Didn't we whip 'em?

We sure did, buddy. We whipped 'em. We whipped 'em good!

Roger
[shouting triumphantly]

We whipped 'em and we got it ALL!

Roger
[discovering a collection of zombies in the basement of a tenement building]

Why did they keep them here?

'Cause they still believe there's respect in dying.

Roger
[about to run a gauntlet of zombies]

Whad'ya think? Bag it or try for it?

You game?

Roger

I need lighter fluid.

You got it.

[removing a can from a Civil Defense carton]

Francine Parker [dejectedly]: Spam!

Roger

You bring a can opener?

No, I guess I didn't.

Roger

Then don't knock it, it's got it's own key.

Roger
[running through a department store after evading a horde of zombies]

Well, we're in, but how the hell are we gonna get back?

Who the hell cares! Let's go shopping!
Roger [looking in a display case]: Watches! Watches!

Wait a minute man, let's just get the stuff we need! I'll get a television and a radio.

Roger

Ooohh, ooohh, lighter fluid! And chocolate! Chocolate!

Roger
[he runs down a clothing aisle]

Hey, how about a mink coat!

Why not?

[Over the truck radios]

You look my size when you're sitting in the truck.

Roger

What I wanna know is how we ended up in the same force, what with you being so tall and all.

They told me it was a midget force. They needed somebody to look up to!

Police Commander
[Police Commander is talking to people holding out in a tenement building via a megaphone. Roger is on the adjacent roof with other SWAT troopers, anticipating the Commander's speech]

Martinez! The people in this project are your responsibility! We don't want any of them hurt, and neither do you!
Roger [Under his breath]: I'm giving you three minutes, Martinez.

Police Commander

I'm giving you three minutes, Martinez! Turn over your weapons and surrender!

Roger

There's no charges against you.

Police Commander

There are no charges against you or any of your people!

Roger

Yet.
